Question

What does Hund's rule state?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity states that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-orbitals(p, d and f) singly before pairing commences.

Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. Hence, it explains some of the magnetic properties of elements.

An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic.

The element whose atoms or molecules contain orbitals that are all filed up with paired electron is diamagnetic.
